I never use the salary trick, because it's never needed.
I got a few billion dollars left before I went on to Mars
I can stay longer but I am out of the alien fuel thingy. So, got to finish the game
anyway, before I went on to Mars I have 2 month without going to any alien crashing/ landing site. Too lazy after fought my 100th battle

Yeah.... This is the windows download of Enemy Unknown, and when I try to run it in windows, I get either the turbo action from one exe, or from the other one, the picture looks all scrambled as hell. What's going on?l

The scrambled picture exe is the one made for Windows. To run that there's a patch you can download to it to make it work. Check through the UFO thread I created in the "Troubleshooting"-section and you'll find the link there.
The turbo action exe is supposed to be the DOS-version (but it doesn't work in DOSBox?). To make use of that you need to download some program that can slow down your computer enough to make it playable. Can't remember the names of the most popular programs in that section, someone else will have to fill me in on that one...

Check it out!

Abandonia is the first result in Google when you search for "UFO: Enemy Unknown".

I remember having to sift through pages and pages of crap before I found this site (more than a year ago, actually).

hey guys, i havn't played UFO in a long long time so i thought it would be a good idea to start again. But i can't get it to work!, the Ufo defence.exe file just shows a wierd smotherd out screen, the UFO.exe file works but it always crashes down when i'm about to launch an assault on the first ufo.. PLEASE help! I've tried many different versions from various sites but none of them works, im pretty desperate here!

For me the UFO.exe file (yellow icon) works fine in XP, but with the occasion graphics glitch (where all the colours go funny, I usually save and restart the application) the crashing at the start of missions happens sometimes as is irritating, I just save often so i can reload if it happens.

i found this game about a couple weeks ago and was excited to play. i had xcom:tftd and had never played the original. needless to say, i liked it but never could last cause them dern aliens decimated me too quick. i have been doing ok and it helps reading the first 40 or 50 pages of this thread, buuuuuut there's one problem i have been having. when i am in a supply ship i just keep getting slammed when they pop down the gravlifts, not a biggie except i cant figure out how to go up them. i stand on them and have no idea what to do. please tell me how stupid i am LOL

See the two icons with a picture of a man and an arrow pointing up or down? Use them (they're next to the buttons with ladders on them, used to shift viewpoint up and down, but not men). The same buttons are used to control your soldier's up and down movements when they are wearing flying suits.

By the way, those things are really, really helpful, but get quite draining on the Elerium when you make about 15 of them. I have a team called 'The Banshees' who are a load of Commandos tooled-up with Laser Rifles and HE Packs, not to mention stun rods, who all wear this armour.

They break into battleships and can literally kill everyone inside for no loss.
